GoesAroundComesAround Review

Fono's GoesAroundComesAround is simply one of the most surprising albums I've ever come across in Christian rock. Opening with "Collide," the first thirty seconds might make one think they've bought an experimental electronic album. This is not the case, but it makes a good transition into what turns out to be an excellent fast-paced opener for the album. The band churns out nine more wonderfully produced songs ranging from the guitar-driven selections "Under My Skin" and powerful "Alcatraz" to mellow songs like "Now She's 24." While overall they have a harder-edged sound, their softer selections border on The Goo Goo Dolls, giving this album something for every alternative rock fan. Amazingly well balanced and assembled, this is album is quite close to flawless, resulting in what appears to be an excellent blueprint for any band wanting to enter the Christian alternative music scene.
